Nick Veasey: Exposing the invisible

http://www.ted.com Nick Veasey shows outsized X-ray images that reveal the otherworldly inner workings of familiar objects -- from the geometry of a wildflower to the anatomy of a Boeing 747. Producing these photos is dangerous and painstaking, but the reward is a superpower: looking at what the human eye can't see.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

@Nomoreidsleft Not sure if you're being entirely serious. If you are though, you realize the corpses are from people who donated their bodies right? So shut your hole.

[MrDavetheman]

stop bitching ... why shouldnt he be aloud to do what he does

[Nomoreidsleft]

I'm appalled. He exploits the dead for his own purposes.  It's time that we stand up for necro-rights.

What will happen if he x-rayed his own x-ray machine?
